Tilli Toon Logo: This is the first Tilli Toon logo on what was then called santoonies. Santoonies would go on carrying the name Tilli Toons. The date of the lower right reads, 1988. The material is a standard 8 ½ x 11 looseleaf paper evident by the blue lines running vertical. This particular logo was placed at the lower left of the toon due to the absence of space found on the top of looseleaf bound paper during that time period, indicating the toon was drawn sideways. The accent mark over the second ‘i’ is added for correct pronunciation of the name Tilli, pronounced, “Till – eye”. The logo has a baseball eccentric look undeniably hinting the degree of marketing, as corporate sponsors of little league baseball teams did in the seventies.

 

 

Chico Note: Believed to be recovered from a yearbook, possibly senior year. That would make the dating of this writing to be around June of 1988, the same year that Santoonies changed to Tilli Toons. CHHS stands for Colonial Heights High School, the birthplace of Tilli Toons. The Chino Gang term in undefined. Possibly the gang surrounding an asian named Chink or Day-Y-Kim. Possibly the toons produced by Chico during the same time period. Signed Jesus, Jasor, or Jason,? the name Chico though recognizable with zero difficulty. Chico, an aspiring cartoonist in his own right at CHHS.

 

 

Jeff Reybok Note: Another item recovered from a year book from Jeff Reybok, a.k.a. Satan. Beach week reference indicates the ritual of CHHS seniors of attending a week of debauchery at Nags Head, N.C. so historians note. Possibly the Santoonie group attended this ritual. J.P. reference is unknown. Conan has been documented as a favorite player character of Jeff Reybok’s in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Perhaps, J.P. was a rival character. Warning: P.S.S. notes may offend.

 

Baron Note: Another entry from perhaps the same yearbook, this time from Baron. This note is extremely precious because it tells us what the Santoonies were doing at that time period while not making toons. VCU stands for Virginia Commonweath University where it is documented Tilli attended Art school. Times Dispatch refers to the “Richmond Times Dispatch.” Funny man song reference is unknown to the museum but experts are examining it’s origin. Override Control is unknown, though believed to be a rival to J.P. by past informants.

ICQ Notes donated to Museum

 

Baron: invite Kenny Gordon

Tilli: mooch and the deadly .45 bb gun

Barlow: That thing would possess him, I loved the line in Amissville. "ask barlow about Mooch". "He was here ealier with the Baron shooting each other with BB guns"

Tilli: hahahah

Tilli: kenny?, whose kenny? lol

Tilli: thats because it had pellets in it, not bb's ...sharp deadly pellets!!!

Barlow: But Kenny would get possessed. He would grab the gun, and his eyes would light up, he literally chased Tilli out of the house.. firing.. even when he got on his bike, he was still shooting, just like Troy with Dodge Bullets.

Barlow: I remember, I ducked under the covers until it was safe to come out.

Baron: one time, we both walked in the room, and I saw the gun laying on your desk, and I looked at him(Kenny), and saw that look in his eyes, so we both went for the gun, he got the gun, and I grabbed his arm, and he got off a few shots before I subdued him, lol

Tilli: hahahahha

Tilli: LOL :-)

Baron: and Tilli was hiding behind the desk

Barlow: I remember Kenny chased him down on his bike to his house where Tilli Mom said "Shooting my son with BB's!" go away!

Barlow: He chased Tilli to his house!

Baron: I do remember the time Tilli was walking up the hill toward your house and Kenny started shooting at him, and I remember watching Tilli zig zag all the way back down the hill

Baron: LOL

Barlow: insane with a BB gun.. I am laughing to tears..

Tilli: hahahha, yeah, i remember going back to my house to get 'the Tilli bb rifle' and my mom stopping me, "Where you going with that?""" "To shoot Kenneth"...oh no your not!!!!

Baron: hahaha

Barlow: She said to us "I only let Tilli shoot BBS under adult supervision towards the house".

Tilli: hhahahaha

Barlow: Obviously she wasn't aware of BB wars in the woods.

Barlow: that's funny, I didn't know that's how she knew! haha

Baron: hahaha

Tilli: yeah, i stormed, in, made lots of noise, and was getting the garage ladder down for the attic, I had a hard time finding it, in the xmas junk and finally found, then i had to scourge for bullets, finally about to leave before i was restrained.

Barlow: But you only shoot under adult supervision!

Tilli: hahahha

Barlow: That's funny.. if she wasn't there, Kenny would have be taught a lesson in BB duels

Tilli: ill give mooch credit when its due, i probably wouldve lost to his insane bb gun antics.

Barlow: Well, he's apaprently too sophisticated for that sort of thing now...

Tilli: plus he did hit me from 50 yards away with me doing zig zags

Barlow: and with a pistol?

Tilli: pretty impressive, ...worthy of a kennedy recreation and study

Barlow: He will never attend...

Baron: no, that day he had a rifle, the day I watched tilli zig zag all the way back down and disappear into the streets of Edinborough

Joe: heya tilli

Barlow: Oh.. damn.. that's insane.. the 45 didn't really hurt.. Kenny and I used to shoot our selves in the leg with it... but the rifle would go clear through the shed, or a trash can

Tilli: hello joe

Tilli: i thought it was the pistol, ill defer to AS on that one

Tilli: so aoe?

Tilli: aoe

Tilli: aoe

Joe: sure thing

Baron: yes, aoe, bars open

Joe: brt

 

 

 

 

Santoonie Corporation’s

Glossary of Terms

 

Lese –  The common Santoonie term for the convenient store 7-11.  The name derives from the written version, seven eleven, backwards dropping the ‘ven’.  So eleven seven minus ‘ven’ from both words is ‘ele’ and ‘se’.  Elese, however, the ‘e’ is silent so proper pronunciation is eLese (Le-Say).  It is believed that trips to 7-11 were so common that it was quicker to say Lese than Seven Eleven. 

 

Lese Tour -  The journey of visiting multiple 7-11’s in one single trip.  Believed to have started when one store was out of coke slurpees.  If there was nothing else to do, a Lese tour provided brief entertainment.

 

Se Te -  The common Santoonie term for house tag.  Name derives from word play, removing ‘hou’ from house and ‘g’ from tag.  The result ‘seta’ pronounced Se Te (Sa-Ta).  House tag was a game of tag, one person being ‘it’.  The person who was ‘it’ would have to locate and simply touch the other persons hiding in partially constructed houses at night.  Then subsequently that person was ‘it’.  No flashlights, meant the ‘it’ person had a very difficult time in total blackness of locating anyone.  Simply standing upon a sink provided persons hiding very reasonable security.

 

Te Te Ta -  The common Santoonie term for hotel tag.  Name derives from word play, removing ‘ho’ and ‘l’ from hotel and ‘g’ from tag, equaling Te Ta.  However, hotel being two syllables required Te to also be two resulting in Te Te.  Pronounced (Ta Ta TAW).  A game extended from house tag, created in Nags Head, June of 1988.  One person was ‘it’ and was responsible for tagging one person usually by ensueing chase or surprise within a public hotel.  Hotel security often posed a unique quandrum adding additional adrenelen to the chasee.

 

Odahi – It’s often common for people to misarrange numbers when recording information, but to misarrange letters in a word in mid sentence is something only Tilli could do.  One day Tilli, Dutchboy, and Etchoman were having a discussion and Tilli said, “That looks just like the state of Odahi.  I mean, Idaho.”  Could this be a leak as to Tilli’s ingeniousrosity?  Or another brain fart.  You decide.

 

Jelly Beans – Telephone code for beer.  Code was necessary when talking with parents nearby.  This code was invented by Lipe.  A common example of use, “Okay, D&D at Jeff’s at 8 o’clock.  I’ll be there.  Hey, whose bringing the Jelly Beans?”

 

Spastic Hour -  A term to associate the exact time that Patty Judy becomes extremely talkative, lively, animated and full of long, growling laughs.

 

 

Do Dogs – The sport of using dogs to play hide and seek.  The dogs being the chasers, the people being the chasees.  In order for the dog to allow the chasees enough time to run and hide, a ball or stick must be used to get the dogs attention.  The ball or stick would then be thrown as far as possible, with all chasees running into the woods.  The dog would soon follow and the first person caught was the looser, everyone else wins.

 

Richmond – The task of going to the city to get drunk.  The equivalent of a 16^th century viking raid.

 

Sucka Piss Grit – A dual term meaning to urinate but derived from a drunken Tilli trying desperately to instigate a brawl against party revellers.  Tilli spat out as many curses as humanly possible and as loud as possible and as fast as possible and somewhere between the FU’s and CK’s, ---Suck—A---Piss----Grit---could distinctly be heard by nearby Santoonies.  Now it’s common use, “Hey guys, just a sec, I gotta Sucka Piss.”

 

Reybok Lottery – The chance one takes when your friend, a.k.a. Jeff Reybok, lives out of town and without a phone.  You have to drive out there and he may or may not be home, hence “the lottery.”  The last known odds were 30/70.

 

HYIEENNE – The Miser expression for …all things.

 

Run from C’s – A small town with over abundant police protection.  Four cars to every bottlerocket explosion.  Why not make a game of it?  Go out late at night in black clothing, trespass somewhere, wait for the police headlights to spot you, then…RUN!”  This was actually on the list of things to do every weekend.  Omg, how did I survive this long.

 

More to come.
